Photos: Colorado Rockies lose to Padres, 4-3 in San Diego

SAN DIEGO — Drew Pomeranz making starts through the month of September is important for his growth. But his walk to the finish line has been clumsy. The left-hander has established a career-high in professional innings. But quality has not matched the quantity. He has reached five innings just once since Aug. 1, a product of the pitch count and a lack of efficiency. A critical mistake to Jesus Guzman undermined his outing Saturday night. The Padres’ left fielder hit a three-run home run in the third inning, the big blow in San Diego’s 4-3 victory.
